Free Dress Tutorials for Girls

You have been waiting for the next round of free sewing tutorials, haven’t you? I won’t keep you waiting any longer. This time I have rounded up free dress tutorials for little girls. My little girls love dresses. An Easter dress was the first clothing piece I sewed for my first daughter. I was so proud; strings, not-so-straight hems, and all.

Sized Dress Tutorials for Girls

• The Sweet Simple Dress – This free pattern is sized for 0-3 months.
• Emerson Tunic Dress Tutorial – Pattern is sized 4T/5, but the author says adjusting sizing is relatively easy.
• Summer Picnic Dress – Tie straps, rick-rack and ruffle detailing. How cute. I just love the fabric she used for the sample dress, too! (12m-4)
• Winter Rose Dress – I love the details on this Anthropologie-inspired dress. Pattern is a size 5. There is also a variation tutorial for this dress that makes a cute petal dress.
• A Rockin’ Dress Tutorial – Size 2T
• The Sunshine Dress Tutorial – This is too cute with the round neck. (18m-2T)
• Retro Ruffle Pillowcase Dress – This will only fit up to a size 18 month or so.

Any Size Dress Tutorials

• Ruffle Dress Tutorial – Uses ruffle fabric and is a maxi style dress. So cute.
• The Mod Sailor Dress – This is super super cute.
• Ruffle Clover Tutorial – This is awesome. It is a little more involved because you make the ruffles, instead of using ruffle fabric.

• Fancy Nancy Dress – A dress inspired by the Fancy Nancy books.
• Three Part Harmony Tutorial – A fun tank top style, knit dress.

• Coraline Dress – The ruffle details on this make the dress stand out.
• The Posy Dress Tutorial – A fun summer dress.
• The Amelia Dress – I want one in my size. Of course, I would look ridiculous, but I still love it.
• Bohemian Peasant Dress Tutorial – This uses a pattern from Etsy, but the tutorial that walks you through it is helpful.
• Ruffle Tank Dress
• Gathered Pillowcase Dress – A variation on the classic pillowcase dress.
• Simple Little Lady Dress – If you haven’t sewed before, this is a good place to start.
• A-Line Ruffle Front Dress – A modification of any a-line pattern you have.
• Poppy Dress Tutorial – A shirred dress with orange poppy flower details.
• Metro Dress Knock-Off – Chic and classy. Also starts with a men’s shirt, so best for smaller girls or just get more shirts and mix the prints.
• Neapolitan Dress – A fun, slimmer-cut tiered peasant dress.

Refashioned Dress Tutorials

• The 15 Minute “Thrift Store Skirt” to “Girl’s Dress” Refashion – This is awesome. I can see this working well with for my girls (any size).
